#RESIST: Chuck Schumer is a spineless disaster as Senate Minority Leader... caving to Trump when we NEED a fierce check on his power! He’s failing us, and it’s time to DITCH HIM NOW! @democrats.org, @sanders.senate.gov, @aoc.bsky.social rally the votes and GET HIM OUT! #RemoveSchumer

Senator Ossoff is doing the right thing while Schumer is blowing it for the @democrats.org by saying he'll vote yes. 56% or more of Americans strongly disagree with Trump's actions and this budget, this may be one of the last few chances to put him it check... and to start earning our trust. #Resist

Senator Coons tells NPR: Democrats are going to fight for our appropriations bills that we've already done on a bipartisan basis. We're going to work to get a vote on the floor of a 30 day CR to keep the government open while we finish our appropriations bills. 🙌🏼 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

"Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their continuing resolution without any input - any input - from congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR," Schumer said on the floor, calling for a one-month funding bill that provides more time to negotiate a deal.
"Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass," he said. "I hope our Republican colleagues will join us to avoid a shutdown on Friday. yYz
He spoke after a lunch meeting between Democratic senators on Wednesday. They went in torn over whether to vote for the House's six-month measure, with some worried that a shutdown would be worse, even as they widely disapprove of the House billk

REMINDER Benevolence Yields Prosperity: The poor doing better boosts middle class via more cash flow, jobs, and stability. Top 1% thriving hoards wealth, slows wages, spikes costs, and burdens middle class, widening inequality. A strong bottom lifts all, but an outsized top destroys most.

Dictatorship demands ruthless power consolidation. Cutting government staff trims bureaucracy that could resist or slow the takeover; fewer people means less pushback. Drop alliances; they leash you to meddling nations that may try to intervene. DOGE is about consolidating power fast and hard.

“DOGE’s cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does.”

A big opportunity for Dems if they can push a populist progressive platform + have united national messaging: No more tax breaks for the 1%, close corp tax loopholes, expand healthcare coverage, limit H-1B visa program, protect entitlements. +more effective criminal deportations, like under Biden.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people. It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies. In that sense, the system is working very well. But it is not working for the average American. We need Medicare for All.
